I see these ‘top 5 explainer videos’ or ‘top 10 explainer video production companies’ lists all the time and for the most part, they’re on the websites of animated video studios. Generally, there’s a list that includes other studio’s videos and then, at the number one spot…one of their own videos. I figured that I’d just be a bit more blatant about it all and create a list of our favourite explainer videos from the ones we’ve produced.
#1
Ubamarket
This is our number 1 animated explainer video for a few reasons. One reason is that it was a lot of fun to make and the client was open to anything. Secondly, it’s a cartoon with crazy looking blobby characters. As a rule, if it’s fun to make, it’ll be fun to watch.
#2
Warmzilla
This was another explainer video that was great fun to make! The client was up for a laugh and some oddball humour so we ended up with a video that includes posh prize ponies, squished salesmen and boiler fitters riding dinosaurs.
#3
Mercer UK
We’ve made a ton of explainer videos for Mercer-Marsh and their clients but this one for Mercer UK is probably my favourite. It has a lovely flow to it and a vast and varied colour palette…and I’ve always liked the animated head icons.
#4
Step Teachers
This was our first animated collage explainer video and it was extremely well received internally and by the client. This particular style is a great way to tell a story such as your company’s history.

Don’t be like Phil
This was the result of an idea that was stuck in my brain for months. It was a super quick personal project – I think it took a few weeks from start to finish. Although it was just for fun, it’s actually brought in quite a few clients.
